Over these wharves there were shipped in
1886 no less than 49, 81 barrels of roSin
and turpentine in coastwise and foreign
bottoms.
LUMBER RECEIPTS.
OF lumber, sawed and otherwise, in 1886
the shipments amounted to but 7,192, 900
feet. Last year they had swollen to 81, IA,
800 feet Comment is unnecessary The
wharf property Of the concern embraces 321
acres of valuable land, and it owns three
fourths of mile Of continuous wharf front
and docks. Tracks have been laid and are
operated to Gordon's iron warehouse, and
all the cotton warehouses and presses in tho
eastern part of the city. They have been
recently extended, also, onto the dock of
the Merchants and Miners Transportation
Company, and now all freights are deliv-
cred and received on the rails from the Bal
tlmore steamers.
A CHEERFUL PROSPECT.
From the obliging officials we learn that
the road is doing a very satisfactory bust
ness. And when the new and attractive
regions that have been thrown open to set
tiers through the untiring energy, sagacity
and capital of Mr.. Plant, and his associates,
have had time for development, they will
reap rich harvest for all their pluck and
enterprise. In five years the very fruit and
vegetable shipments OF Florida Will afford
ample employment to the Savannah Flori
da and Western railway upon whose track
must be borne to the sea large proportion
of these products, thanks to the feeders pro-
vided by the far-reaching arteries of the
PLANT system"
The principal officers of the company
are:
H. B. PLANT, President.
w. 8. CHISHOLM, Vice President.
II. s. HAINES, General Manager
r. q. FLEMING, Superintendent.
w. b. MCKEE, Comptroller
w. p. HARDEE, Treasurer
These are all competent and efficient citi-
zens, and the interests of the great organi-
zation are safe in their hands.

The Illinois state weather service fur
nishes the following data concerning the
effect of the weather upon the various
crops for the week ending July 16
The temperature of the past week has
been above the normal for the CORES:
ponding period of the past ten years, ex-
cept in Randolph county where it was re-
ported as slightly below the normal
Local showers during the past week have
improved the appearance OF crops in GER
tain sections, but the majority of the OBJ
servers report great lack of seasonable
rainfall. The deficiency is greatest in
the section bounded by line drawn from
Putnam to Pike to Saline to Livingston
counties, except in Christian. Edwards
and Wabash counties from whence an
average weekly rainfall is reported
Knox county alone reported a rainfall
above the average for the week. The
rainfall reported was purely local, con-
sequently there are many localities that
have had no moisture since the 5rd inst .
the date of the last general rainfall
throughout the state. The percentage of
sunshine has been in excess of the nor
NAL during the past week In the few
counties reporting an average rainfall
there has been normal amount of sun
shine.
Corn has improved somewhat 10 ap-
pearance in the sections visited by rain.
but unless there is more ram soou the
crop will be seriously damaged. In the
section FROM Livingston to Kendall coun
| ties the condition of corn is reported as
| promising only from so to rs per cent of
| an average yield. In the other counties
of the northern grand division corn is in
more promising condition, but needs
more ram. In the central and southern
grand divisions the condition of it is be-
tween 90 and 96 per cent of an average.
The oat crop is nearly all harvested
and the yield will be light in the north
ern, fair in the central and slightly above
an average in the southern Pasture
lands are in very poor condition in the

central and below an average in the

best managed and most truthful show on
the road.
In connection with the great inter-
ocean circus, menagerie, museum and
elevated stage, will be exhibited grand
Roman hippodrome, and magnificent
new Wild West. The stars connected
with the circus number fully 200. the III
ders in the hippodrome count nearly
as many, while the Wild West res
quires whole tribes of Indians, scouts,
Indian slayers, cowboys, frontiersmen
and Mexican vaqueros and matadores to
complete it.
One price of admission and one ordi-
nary ticket admits to all shows. Excur.
sion rates at very low rates are made on
